LOS ANGELES, Aug. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Discolorations can age a smile by as much as a decade. Teeth whitening treatments can be used to restore a more youthful appearance not just to a smile but to a patient's overall appearance. Los Angeles teeth whitening expert, Dr. Kevin Sands, uses teeth whitening treatments to enhance and rejuvenate smiles.

Over-the-counter teeth whitening treatments are popular options for combating superficial stains, but many patients quickly discover that these treatments are often ineffective for those hard-to-reach stains that lurk deep inside the enamel and dentin of the teeth. Dr. Kevin Sands, Los Angeles teeth whitening expert, offers stronger teeth whitening solutions that can dramatically whiten teeth in much less time than the typical over-the-counter whitening formula.

Using a professional-strength tooth whitening treatment cannot just whiten teeth faster but more effectively than OTC treatments. That is because professional teeth whitening treatments can be customized to each patient's unique smile needs. Powerful whitening gels are combined with special high-intensity lights, resulting in a fast-acting procedure with no downtime and little risk of side effects.

Although in-office whitening treatments are popular, other whitening options are also available. Dr. Sands offers take-home whitening kits that can be used in the privacy of a patient's own home yet still offer dramatic whitening in just a few days. Dr. Sands also offers porcelain veneers and Lumineers, which can be used not just to whiten teeth but also restore worn enamel, smooth over misalignments and perfect chipped or otherwise flawed teeth.

As a member of the American Dental Association, the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and the Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, Dr. Sands remains on the leading edge of dental technology and incorporates the latest techniques and procedures into his practice.
